We’re pleased to announce that a new and improved version of our Global Model Workstation desktop application (GMW) is now available to users of our Global Model. The upgrade includes some new features, performance improvements and bug fixes.

If you installed a previous version of GMW, the new version will be installed to the same location and will replace it. Your saved data (e.g. selections) will be preserved and available to you in the new version.

Do I have to install the new version to continue using GMWor the Global Model?

No, but we do recommend that you upgrade to take advantage of the latest features. If you choose to Skip on the screen shown above, the Global Model release will still be installed and you will keep your existing version of GMW (if any).

Why did the application name change?

The Global Model Workstationis the sister application of our online platform, the Global Data Workstation. The change of name makes it easier to distinguish between the two.

There is no longer a separate Global Model Launcher application. Instead, the Start Menu and desktop shortcuts directly open the Global Model Workstation, the home page of which now allows you to:

Launch the Global Model

View and download data using GMW

Launch the new Generate Results Tables application

Generate Results Tables application

This is a small application which acts as a new user interface for the existing section of the same name in the Global Model. It can be used to produce quick, readable outputs of commonly-selected groups of indicators. The new UI introduces some enhancements over the previous one such as:

Saved selections in GMW can now be exported to and imported from files, allowing you to share your selections with other GMW users. For example, you can export a selection file to a shared network location so that your colleagues can import and use it. The Export and Import operations are available from the Open saved selections panel.

Enhanced charting capabilities

The new chart features that we released online recently are now available in GMW, where they can be used with your local Model databases. Enhancements include: multiple axes, forecast line, custom axis labels and the ability to download charts while offline.
